Castrolanda Success Case - SAP S/4HANA and GUEPARDO Tax Software

The project was divided into three waves, the first with the implementation of SAP MDG, a data management and governance solution. The second wave – named Alioth – and considered a Big  Bang – was the entry into production of the SAP S/4HANA and GUEPARDO tax software in all of Castrolanda’s business units.

The adoption of the same system in different companies will bring practical benefits for a more strategic and complete management. The suite was chosen because it contributes to improving productivity and efficiency, since the structured database provides accurate analysis and security in the operation, with the possibility of total control of the business. Much of this project was conducted remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and despite the critical situation, the project implementation was a success. The third wave will happen in the future, when the expansion of advanced SAP functionalities will take place.

The implementation of SAP S/4HANA and GUEPARDO tax software brings to Castrolanda numerous benefits in various areas of the cooperative. Gains in efficiency, performance, and productivity, in addition to improving internal processes and data governance that have become part of the operation’s day-to-day operations, with accurate and real-time information. Even with all the complexity of the implementation of SAP S/4HANA encompassing all business units in a single Go Live, the results achieved exceed expectations. Castrolanda managed to exceed the revenue target forecast for the period, which is the best proof that this was a successful ERP implementation project.
